The England international went over on his left ankle early on in Saturday's victory over Arsenal and was forced off after 16 minutes.

He left the Emirates on crutches wearing a protective boot. The subsequent swelling and bruising has delayed the 19-year-old's scan which will give a clearer picture of how serious the injury is. However, initial concerns are that he is facing a couple of weeks at least on the sidelines.

MANCHESTER UNITED INJURIES

Despite Shaw's injury, United defender Reece James is poised to join Rotherham United on loan.

The 21-year-old impressed at left back during the club's summer tour of USA but Louis van Gaal is prepared to allow James out to gain more experience.

James is expected to be joined at the New York Stadium by former United team-mate Tom Lawrence who has failed to make an impression at Leicester City since his summer transfer.

Rotherham, who are third from bottom in the Championship, have allowed full back Richard Brindley to join Scunthorpe on loan until January.
